Hell we've collected so much money meow they'll build a chain of cabins. And since they won't be living in all of those cabins of course they'll rent out the rest at insane prices since hey, there'll be plenty of demand. Tenants soon won't be able to pay the rent and mr. Morris will have to get medieval on their asses…
We've created a monster… just wait and see…

Taylor, you are an inspiration to so many. You are a true American hero. Thank you for sacrificing so much for your country. Words cannot express my gratitude. Donation made, wish it could be more. KCCO

As has already been said countless times, our donation does not come close to representing the amount of respect and gratitude my husband (former U.S.M.C., ALWAYS U.S.M.C.) and I have for you. Stay strong Taylor. KCCO.

This is Trampass and Bridget Gilbert we are from Georgia and my husband Trampass works with Taylor’s dad in Pensacola, Fla. Trampass is an electrician and he said he wants to wire Taylor and Danielle’s cabin for them. He wants to do it himself and wants Taylor to have all the best shit in the cabin so Taylor will not have to worry about a thing! So need to worry about getting the cabin wired it is taken care of when the time comes.

Taylor you are a true American Hero. Thank you for your courage and bravery in keeping the United States safe. We wish you the best in your recovery and keep the motivation that you have always. You have a truly remarkable family that will always be by your side and that is a wonderful gift.

I am a Chivette who just made my donation, Taylor your hardships, patriotism and bravery bring tears to my eyes. I am an RN in an urban ER and we are notorious for being a bunch of hard a**es, but after sharing your story with co-workers there were tears all around- and a lot of requests on how to donate. Thank you for your service and your strength. I hope those Nurses are taking good care of you and you can get home to your cabin soon. KCCO.

Hey shipmate. Found about you and just had to help out.
As you are aware so many others have given more than limbs. I hope you don’t let any guilt-based feelings of being singled out while so many of our wounded brothers and sisters also soldier on in relative anonymity. YOU earned our respect and admiration as well. Besides a direct donation to you I’ve decided to go to the VA and see how I can help others. Thanks for showing me what really matters.

Semper Fi Taylor! Thank You for your sacrifice. You are a remarkable human being. Your story on the chive brought me to tears. Keep up the unbelievable work and progress you are making. You are an inspiration to all. KCCO from a former USMC brother!

There aren’t enough words to thank you for your courage, service, or sacrifice. Your story really is an inspiration, and serves as an example of greatness for us all. You’re a true American Hero. Hang in there and KCCO, brother.

Thank you for you service and sacrafice that you have made to help protect each and everyone of us. Without people like you, we would be no where. Enjoy your cabin by a lake, you have most deffinitley deserved it.

Taylor- saw your story on the Chive. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude about life and what you still want to accomplish even after what happend is nothing short of inspiring. Reading your story I couldn't help but think of a few people I care for- my cousin is a 2 tour Iraq/Afghanistan Special Forces captain, one of my best friends is a 2 tour Iraq Army vet, and another is a 2nd lieutenant in the Marines. In honor of them and support of you, I donated immediately. Wish the very best for you and your family. Enjoy that cabin on the lake.

Thank you for all that you have sacrificed! We will never be able to truly repay you for your service. We are able to live the way we do because of people like you. My prayers are with you and your family. KCCO

Thank you for all that you have sacrificed for our nation, this is a very inspiring and uplifting story, that i have shared with all of my friends, coworkers and family members. Thank you for your sacrifice, and KCCO!

ugh, Chivers have a way of always disappointing you. John only asked them for a down payment, and what do those asshats do? They pay for the whole f*cking cabin!
But seriously: Be sure to enjoy the hell out of it guys!

There are no words to describe how selfless you are. My little brother is at basic training for the army right now and I couldn’t be more proud to know he is serving (as well as many of my friends) with tremendous men and women like you who are willing to risk your life for my freedom. The least I can do is donate and help give you what you deserve. I have never felt more proud to be an American. Thank you for all you have done

I will be sending a donation to your grandparents’ house – KCCO Taylor. I wish I could donate more – you deserve every penny you get. I hope you get some much needed relaxation at your new home:) I’m so elated and ridiculously happ

I know our paths will never cross, but I want you to know that I will think of you and your sacrifice many times throughout my life. And each time I do, I will have to stop, catch my breath, and say thank you again. Even though you will not hear all of my thank yous, here is the first one. Thank you………

Thank you very much for your service Taylor, words and money alone can not describe the amount of gratitude I have for your service and your sacrifice! You truly are an American hero! Keep calm and Chive on!!

Add one more Chiver! I was incredibly moved by your sacrifice and the courage you’ve displayed. You may be proud to an American. I so happy to be able to help out, albeit in a small way. No amount of money can repay you for what you’ve sacrificed but I know you’re overcome the challenges that face you.

From one proud Army Mama to one amazing Navy son… God bless you, kid – and a special nod to your parents, because I know what it’s like to dread the day you may hear news like this. Your story is inspirational, and I’m glad to see that all the Chivers out there stepped up… enjoy your new home!! KCCO!

Though not an American, I have a deep and abiding affection for the USA.
I thank you for your service and sacrifice.
You are a hero and a true inspiration to so many.
I hope that my donation, along with all of others, will soon bring you your cabin. May you, your family and all your loved ones create many happy memories in that cabin.
Keep calm and chive on!
Godspeed.

KCCO from New Zealand Taylor. Your story and sacrifice has touched us, even on this side of the world. Thank you for your devotion to your country and the sacrifice you have given. Ensure that you love every day and are eternally thankful to those that have stood by you (your girlfriend, your parents, your mates ect ect). The chive and all their loyal pupils are behind you. KCCO

I am stunned and humbled by not only what Taylor has done with his EOD work but also (after reading this blog) The willingness of all the family members to immediately assume the critical role of Caregiver.

A few years back I had the opportunity to spend a year volunteering at Bethesda and subsequently spent a good deal of time up on 7 West. It never ceased to amaze me the raw emotions that permeated the air to the point of being palpable… strength, honor, commitment, pride, loyalty….

I truly hope that you continue to share this blog and your story, not only because I feel it is hugely cathartic and thus an instrument of healing… but also… I think it shines a much deserved light on the young men and women who serve their country as Corpsman, Drs, RNs, PTs, and OTs (civilian and active duty).

Words cannot describe the depth of my gratitude for your service, and all servicemen fighting for freedom and peace. The time, energy and sacrifice expected of our servicemen and women is enormous. We as Chivers acknowledge this sacrifice, and I am sure we all wish we could do more, not only for you, but for all of our fighting men and women.

My donation is nothing compared to what you have donated to our country. I hope my donation and the chivers donation not only builds a down payment – but the entire cabin. Stay strong, be amazing – because that is what you are. Thank you. KCCO! 🙂

I’m one of the Chivers who donated, and I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re all so proud of Taylor and just happy that we can help. Taylor, enjoy that cabin, buddy. You’ve sure as hell earned it. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
